 |  Talk to any successful
McDonald’s franchisee and it’s clear
there’s a lot you can get from the role – personal
fulfilment, leading a successful team of people, financial reward,
fun. But to achieve this, there’s a lot you need to put in.
Have you got what it takes to run the a McDonald's
franchise? There is a certain type of person we’re
looking for to run a McDonald's franchise. You
have already had success in business or another career, ideally
with experience of people management and development,
sales-building and marketing. You will also need your own funds to
invest in your
McDonald'sfranchise and cover
your living expenses during training. The turnover and profit your franchise delivers will
depend on many factors. As a guide, you might expect to achieve a
return on investment of more than 20% per annum. This means you
should repay your initial borrowings within five to seven
years.
Average profit margins for a
McDonald's franchise are in the region of
6-8%, which generates around £90,000 profit per restaurant per
year. However, these returns are not guaranteed. As a fast-food
franchisee, you will need to take a hands on approach if you are to
build sales and maximise profitability. The first stage in the selection process is to
complete the online application form (please see below). If we
think you’ve got potential, we’ll invite you to meet
us. If we’re both still interested, you’ll be asked to
spend five days working in a McDonald’s
restaurant so you can find out what it’s like. If you enjoy
the environment and we think you’re right for it,
you’ll then visit several franchisees. If this goes well,
you’ll come to a final meeting with the UK selection panel.
If we both feel 100% sure a McDonald’s
franchise is right for you, training can begin as soon as
you’re ready. This training period lasts nine
months.
